It seems Huawei is rolling out the Android Nougat update in Europe for the P9 Plus, as users are reporting that a certain build B360 is available as an OTA, bringing in EMUI 5.0 and 7.0 upgrade.
The B360 update is already live in Germany and Romania, with users confirming that they were not part of the beta update program, which means it’s the stable release being rolled out.
Thew full software version of the P9 Plus Nougat update version that going live for all users in Europe is VIE-L09C432B360, and so far, we’ve had confirmation only from the single SIM users. But if you ask us, we think the P9 Plus dual-SIM variant, VIE-L29, isn’t far, and should be seeing a day in Nougat anytime now.
The Android Nougat update brings host of cool features like split-screen, bundled notifications and with direct reply feature, revamped Settings, quick switching to previous app using double tap on Recents key, etc. all of which makes it a lovely update.
